Deals with Peter Munuit, who founded the first permanent European settlement in Delaware in 1638 when working for the Swedish crown, and with his ship the Kalmar Nyckel, which made four voyages across the Atlantic to the new colony, bringing new settlers and supplies. Minuit was drowned in the Caribbean in 1638, and the Kalmar Nyckel was sold in 1651. Originally published in March 1990, this is a second printing from March 2007. 225pp, 16pp b&w illustrations..
